1pm – Golden Poppy – What’s in your Summer Fun Kit?
Have you looked at the ingredients of your sunscreen and bug spray lately? Did you ever wonder what all of those chemicals are?  We did too, and when we found out we quickly decided we didn’t want to use them anymore, ever again! So we set out to make more natural versions that would still be effective.

Come listen to Herbalist Risa Palmer of Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary talk about the natural ingredients you can use in sunscreen and bug spray to keep your family protected this spring and summer.

2pm – Larimer County Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners – Tree identification walk.
Master Gardener Bill Ciesla will do a walking tour of the trees around Civic Center Park. He will discuss ID characteristics, attributes, pros/cons and disease and insect issues.

3 p.m. – Gardens on Spring Creek – Composting

Join the Gardens on Spring Creek for an interactive workshop exploring the ins and outs of composting. We will explore the basics of what it is, why it is important, how to start your own and addressing common compost problems. Kids and adults will also enjoy getting up close with the mighty creatures that help with the decomposition process.

The workshop will be facilitated by Ashley Young M.Ed.  the Education Coordinator at The Gardens on Spring Creek.
